ECOSYSTEM

A community and nonliving parts all together at the same time in the same area

I chose this picture because there is a community with flamingos and pelicans with non living rocks and water around them.

CARNIVORE

A carnivore only eats other animals

I chose this picture because this wolf is a carnivore because it only its meat

HERBIVORE

A herbivore only eats plants

I chose this picture because koalas only eat plants and this is one is eating a eucalyptus plant.

OMNIVORE

An omnivore is an organism that eats both animals and plants.

I chose this picture because this person is eating a burger that has both animal and plant.

FOOD CHAIN

A food chain is a diagram showing one possible path of how energy flows from one organism to the next.

I chose this picture because it is showing what the definition states, it is one possible straight path.

FOOD WEB

A food web is a system of interlocking and interdependent food chains.

I chose this picture because there is lots of different food chain interlocking, just like what the definition said, this picture has more then one path.
